Well, isn't it always the same with Wikipedia?

It's already there .. so it has to be correct. If you're trying to remove
it, you have to prove it - but there is not even prove it should be there
in the first place oO

You really need to have time to go through that kind of argument ...

Hi Rick,

right, I've already tried to correct the wikipedia page, to be honest, I've
just removed the sentence "Solr is the second-most... etc."
But my change has been discarded because I missed to add a valid motivation.

Anyway, not sure I'm the most representative person to discuss this in the
wikipedia talk page :) but I'll try to do whatever I can

And just to share with you my thought, my principal motivation is that even
if DB Engines has a proven accuracy, the sentence in question has not be
considered so relevant to explain what is Solr. For sure, it should be used
as first one.
